Subject: [gentoo-dev] RFC: Application name in metadata.xml
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:00:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAN3AtvrEXA=MLhdFms38fk4dKFMcN5K+QJuVP-ivTwyHLGRoow@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I think this is not the first time it's been discussed here, but maybe
I'm wrong.
Other distros associate a more user-friendly package name (application
name) to packages.
Say, they bind libreoffice-writer to "LibreOffice Writer" in package metadata.
How about expanding metadata.xml (adding to its .dtd) to also support this?
It would be nice to show this info in GUI package managers instead of
the actual, and ugly (for the newbies), CP or CPV.
It would be just a small addition that would make a big diff.
So?
